Consequently, the System Management Console graphical user interface (GUI)
layout is different. The application area replaces the general information area
(GIA). The system tree pane is replaced by the navigation pane.
CallP checkpointing support
The CallP checkpointing support feature ensures that SIP messaging for calls
remain synchronized, and that essential cached data is available if a standby
server must become active. By remaining synchronized, call information is
preserved during call failover. With this feature, the standby server can be a hot
standby.
Complete re-IP support
With the Complete re-IP support feature, you do not need to reinstall the server
software after you change various server identification parameters, such as
country, time zone, and IP address.
IBM core hardware introduction
This feature introduces the IBM x306m hardware for all the core MCS servers.
The Sun Fire V100, V210, and Netra 240 servers are not supported on Release
4.0.
MAS OAM/fault integration
The Media Application Server (MAS) Operations, Administration, and
Maintenance (OAM) fault integration feature provides the integration of the log
and alarm notifications from the MAS into the MCS Fault and Performance
Manager (FPM). After you provision the MAS servers on the MCS system, the
management server can receive logs and alarms from the MAS, which increases
the visibility of MAS problems.
After the FPM restarts, it queries the alarm state of each MAS server configured
on the MCS and reflects the state of each server on the System Management
Console. Configuration of the FPM to request periodic updates to the MAS alarm
state is provided, to ensure synchronization between the MCS and MAS.
